Company of Others

Company of Others is a dance theatre company based in the North East of England, led by Artistic Director and Choreographer Nadia Iftkhar.

We empower those who have experienced Othering to share their stories through dance theatre experiences. Together, we spotlight diverse human experiences, challenge systems of oppression, and seek to inspire change. 

All of our work is free or PAYF to ensure those without financial freedom aren’t excluded, and all of our programmes are uniquely tailored to those we work with, down to the food we provide for each session. The quality of dance produced is a direct result of the feeling of community that we care to cultivate. 

We work currently with people aged 4yrs - 80yrs, from people who have never danced before to professional artists. 

Our home is in Walker, the North East’s most deprived ward and we strive to reclaim the narrative of Walker and tell a new story.

We offer 3 core dance programs for aged 4-60+

• Walker Youth Dance Project

• Company of Others Ensemble
